With one of two @exeterlabour teams in #StLeonards earlier. Lovely to have Ben Bradshaw with us. Good support for retaining my experience as a local resident/councillor & Labour voice. Creeping concerns about risk to our city of Farage/Polanski populism & negativity of opponents.

1985 nostalgia watch of Back To The Future. The gold standard of high concept movies. Great script, great set, off the wall funny, sweet & with cast to die for. Christopher Lloyd, Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson 💕 & is there a finer 80s star than Michael J Fox? Glorious.

Some of Exeter’s youngest residents have been sharing their hopes for a greener future – and they’ve made it a work of art! More: news.exeter.gov.uk/schoolchildren…

I spoke to the BBC about our Acting Chief Constable being suspended - whilst the actual CC is also still suspended. This is a mess. The police force is already failing on many measures - people in #Exeter, including police officers, need answers. bbc.com/news/articles/…

I have long been supportive of changing the law on assisted dying. Having listened carefully to the arguments, today I voted for @kimleadbeater’s bill. It allows for choice and dignity at end of life for people with a terminal illness, accompanied by significant safeguards.

This is quite something.

This is a fantastic project. Highlight of my week. Thank you @monkerton & Societree societree.uk Exeter primary schools please get in touch if you’d like to get involved.
